Chapter 1095 - The White inauguration (8) (1/2)
At the tables…
Samara is trying for some time to strike a conversation with Jesse, unsuccessfully. Her shameless advances increased several folds when she saw that her father is busy at the table with Oscar and Donald.
She pushed a napkin toward Jesse and he glanced at it only to see that there is a phone number written on it. Jesse looked at Samara questionably and she winked at him.
”I feel like dancing, but my partner could not make it to this event…”, she said to Jesse coquettishly. ”I saw that you are an amazing dancer…” Samara leaned closer to Jesse and spoke to Oni: ”Do you mind if I borrow him for a dance or two?”
”My date is not available to dance with you.”, Oni curtly responded.
”How rude…”, Samara mumbled.
”I think that it's rude how you are shamelessly latching onto my date.” Oni didn't feel a need to hold back in front of this despicable young woman.
Jesse placed his hand over Oni's, telling her to calm down.
”Sorry Miss…”, Jesse addressed Samara. ”I will dance only with my date tonight.”
Oni looked at Jesse and smiled. ”Honey, I feel like dancing.”
Jesse stood up and offered his hand to Oni. ”Absolutely, dear…”
Samara looked after them and puffed her cheeks in frustration. To add to her frustration, Lukas was snickering at her failure from his seat.
”Behave!”, Jasmine warned Lukas and Samara in a low voice. ”You are not teenagers. Don't bring shame to your father!”
Samara rolled her eyes and then looked at Jesse who was already dancing with Oni. Ah, he does look like an African king. Samara folded the napkin with her phone number and placed it next to Jesse's plate. She is confident that he didn't take it only because his date is there.
Few tables away…
”Ron. It really is you…”, man's voice said when he approached Ron and Zula.
Ron closed his eyes and exhaled. He recognized the voice as his father's. Ron was thankful that he told Sarah how for the new ID he does not want to change his name. If he did, his cover would be blown now. Ronald Heine is common enough that he can keep it, and it's not like he broke the law or anything so that he needs to hide. He just does not want to live with that abusing stepmother and a father who will rather believe a woman he met few years ago, than his own son.
”I told you that it's him!”, Ron's stepmother arrogantly said while taunting Ron with her eyes.
Ron stood up to face his father.
”Where have you been all this time?”, Ron's father asked and then he paused. His brows furrowed when he realized that there is another pressing thing: ”How did you manage to get into this event?”
Zula was next to Ron, holding his hand.
”It must be this girl. She seduced him and forced him to leave us without a word.”, Ron's stepmother told Ron's father.
Ron frowned. ”Leave her out of this.”
At the table with desserts, Sarah noticed that Ron and Zula are facing an older couple and that their stance is defensive. She used Eve-vision to identify the man as Ron's father, and the woman as Ron's stepmother. Sarah inhaled sharply and looked at Aiden.
”Ron's dad is here. And he saw him…”
Aiden understood that this means trouble and made a step to go there. Aiden stopped when he felt Jeff's hand on his shoulder.
”Let us handle this.”, Jeff said with an assuring nod.
Aiden nodded back to his brother in approval. The four of them know why Ron left home and how he ended up joining them.
